Ok tried that before I posted and it didn’t work. Must be really hard to get out. Gotta find some pliers I guess.
Thanks man.
Still can’t get the screwdriver out. Got pliers and the thing is just stuck. Very annoying. Bad design.
The slogan of the TE2
Keep the hex side because that works fine for removing the bezel and buy a real flathead to remove the balltop because the crappy Mad Catz one is just going to strip and stop working if you keep flipping both sides of the screw driver
did anybody start getting their sticks yet?
If I can actually get the screwdriver out so I can flip it, I will do that. Thing feels like it’s super glued into the handle.
Take that screw driver and kill it with fire and use real tools.
Just realized there is no way to use headphones with the TE2. That sucks.
Get headphones that connect directly to your PS4(USB/Optical). I don’t think any PS4 sticks out have a headphone jack.

I have a couple questions. I picked up a used PS3/PS4 TE2 that I’m going to tri-mod. This is a picture of the PCB. First, is the bluetooth authentication module is on this PCB? Second, does anything plug into the 3-prong connector that’s circled in red? Nothing was plugged into it, and I just want to be sure that nothing is missing.
mrmanuke, the 3-prong connector is for the optional led board. Nothing should have been plugged in the controller as stock.
Did you ever get it out?
Just got my stick and I want to mod obviously. I can do the artwork and the buttons, but I am looking for some input from people that have modded the stick.
Things like:
-Kowal Oversized Accuator
-The Link
-Heavier springs
-anything else that I don’t even know about
Also, should I get some plexi from Art? Does it fit better than the stock plexi? I notice the buttons are not tight.
Thank you! I don’t have a PS4 for testing yet, and I was being a bit paranoid and wondering if there was any chance the bluetooth module could be located off of the main board. I followed all of the other leads besides that 3-prong connector, and eliminated them as possibilities.
BTW, the TE2 is a wired-only controller so there isn’t a bluetooth module. Sony doesn’t like anything 3rd party connecting to its bluetooth network. Plus, you wouldn’t want a tournament controller to be bluetooth anyhow because of lag and because bluetooth-pairing controllers are forbidden in almost all tournaments.
Actually, there is. PS4 handles its security via Bluetooth which is what he’s talking about.
Man, I hope they ship the late April pre-orders for the regular TE2 PS4 sticks earlier. Can’t wait to get it and throw some parts in.
No 3rd party controller for either console supports headphones.
What is with the buttons being loose in these sticks?
I tried switching out the buttons with some brand new Sanwa OBSF buttons and they are loose also.
Does plexi from Art fix this problem?
If not, is there a fix for this?
Are you using the supplied clear spacers that came with each button on the stick?
